model animation problem

[cheese]

is the model for survivors based off the combine model? if so it would explain why it doesn't show the animation.

From:
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/No_Animation_for_Combine_Models

If you have created a mod based off of HL2:MP, you may have this issue. Combine players will appear to other players as a simple combine model with his arms out to his side, with no walking animation, nor any other type of animation. When they walk around, they simply appear to glide along the ground. You may need to disable client side model changing in your gameinfo.txt to prevent players from picking a non-working model.

if its the case...by replacing the combine_soldier model with the police model it fixes the problem.

I've had this problem before. If you just rejoin the server and let your game load before joinning a team the broken models will go away.

Maybe it has to do with:
cl_playermodel "models/combine_soldier.mdl"
cl_defaultweapon "weapon_physcannon"
in the config.cfg

Open hl2mp_player.cpp

Find:
Q_snprintf( szReturnString, sizeof (szReturnString ), "cl_playermodel models/Combine_Soldier.mdl\n" );

Replace with:
Q_snprintf( szReturnString, sizeof (szReturnString ), "cl_playermodel models/police.mdl\n" ); //COMBINE MODEL FIX

Find:
szModelName = "models/Combine_Soldier.mdl";

Replace with:
szModelName = "models/police.mdl"; //COMBINE MODEL FIX

Find:
pszCurrentModelName = "models/Combine_Soldier.mdl";

Replace with:
pszCurrentModelName = "models/police.mdl"; //COMBINE MODEL FIX

Find (Second occurrence):
szModelName = "models/Combine_Soldier.mdl";

Replace with:
szModelName = "models/police.mdl"; //COMBINE MODEL FIX

hmmm does this have anything to do with the human guy looking 1 direction and shooting the other?

Most of the animation errors seem to be server side and not client so just change a server if you are seeing strange things.

We do need to change the directional animation however so that will occure no matter what.

Hello,
I can't seem to grasp the concept of fixing this model issue. Can some one please either make a server host howto on fixing the model issue or make a patch.

[cheese]

still looking into this. but there is a problem with the models, particularly with moving and shooting in the same direction. Leave this to the devs to fix, not yourself.
